With beauty above me I walk. With beauty around me I walk. It has become beauty again. It has become beauty again. It has become beauty again. It has become beauty again. 6 Hózhó (Walking in Beauty) Today I will walk out; today everything unnecessary will leave me; I will be as I was before; I will have a cool breeze over my body. I will have a light body; I will be happy forever; nothing will hinder me. I walk with beauty before me. I walk with beauty behind me. I walk with beauty below me. I walk with beauty above me. I walk with beauty around me. My words will be beautiful. In beauty all day long, may I walk. Through the returning seasons, may I walk. On the trail marked with pollen, may I walk. With dew about my feet, may I walk. With beauty before me, may I walk. With beauty behind me, may I walk. With beauty below me, may I walk. With beauty above me, may I walk. With beauty all around me, may I walk. In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk. In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk. My words will be beautiful. The people stand. Hymn at the Procession Sung by all.

The Star-Spangled Banner John Stafford Smith (1750–1836) Words: Francis Scott Key (1779–1843) O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? The people are seated. 8 Jewish Call to Prayer Mikhail Manevich, Cantor, Washington Hebrew Congregation, Washington, District of Columbia The First Reading • 1 Kings 3:5–12 Rabbi Fred Raskind, Temple Bet Yam, St. Augustine, Florida At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask, what shall I grant you?” Solomon said, “You dealt most graciously with Your servant my father David, because he walked before You in faithfulness and righteousness and in integrity of heart. You have continued this great kindness to him by giving him a son to occupy his throne, as is now the case. And now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David; but I am a young lad, with no experience in leadership. Your servant finds himself in the midst of the people You have chosen, a people too numerous to be numbered or counted. Grant, then, Your servant an understanding mind to judge Your people, to distinguish between good and bad; for who can judge this vast people of Yours?” The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. And God said to him, “Because you asked for this—you did not ask for long life, you did not ask for riches, you did not ask for the life of your enemies, but you asked for discernment in dispensing justice—I now do as you have spoken. I grant you a wise and discerning mind; there has never been anyone like you before, nor will anyone like you arise again.” Anthem Liberty University Praise We’ve come this far by faith Carlton Pearson (b. 1953) We’ve come this far by faith Leaning on the Lord Trusting in His Holy Word He never failed me yet Oh’ can’t turn around We’ve come this far by faith Don’t be discouraged when trouble comes into your life He will bear your burdens oh He will remove all our misery and strife And that’s why Just the other day I heard a man say He didn’t believe in God’s word But I can truly say the Lord will make a way he has not failed me yet The people stand. 9 Prayers for those who Govern Evangelist Alveda King, Director of Civil Rights for the Unborn, Priests for Life Leader O Lord our God, accept the fervent prayers of all your people for our nation and for all those who govern.
